Jakob Alder war eine der wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten in der traditionellen Appenzeller Musik. Als Komponist und Hackbrettlehrer hat er bleibende Spuren hinterlassen. «Alders Jock» entstammte der berühmten Musikanten-Dynastie Alder aus Urnäsch AR. Er galt als der virtuoseste Hackbrettspieler seiner Generation. Als aussergewöhnlich vielseitiger Instrumentalist spielte er auch Violine, Cello, Kontrabass, Akkordeon, Klavier, diverse Blechblasinstrumente und sogar Kirchenorgel. Mit seinem musiktheoretischen Wissen, das er sich unter anderem an Blasmusikdirigentenkursen aneignete, war Jakob Alder ein gefragter Mitspieler in diversen Streichmusik-Formationen. Er musizierte unter anderem beim berühmten «Edelweiss Trogen», bei der «Streichmusik Bänziger» und bis am Schluss bei der «Streichmusik Edelweiss Herisau». Von 1934 bis 1947 gehörte er auch zur Familienformation der Streichmusik Alder. Neben seinen Auftritten unterrichtete Jakob Alder einige Dutzend Schüler, die er bei sich zu Hause in seiner ureigenen Spiel- und Begleittechnik ausbildete. Unzählige seiner gehörfälligen Kompositionen gelangten dadurch ins Standardrepertoire vieler Inner- und Ausserrhoder Hackbrettler. Zu seinem 110. Geburtstag erklingen in der heutigen Fiirabigmusig einige von Jakob Alders schönsten Melodien. Jakob Alder lebte vom 23.5.1915 – 6.4.2004.

And in today's episode we show you some of the leading examples today.  We end our season ten with host Joan Watson Jones look into some of Jazz's unsung heroes.  Women representing a wide range of ethnic and social backgrounds have always been vital to the jazz community.  With that said, most folks focus on the jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn.   In this Jazz Room we look to the women as instrumentalists and largely from current times including Carol Sudhalter, Linda Presgrave, Jan Lear, Marion McPartland, Shirley Horn (yes, she is a piano player of renown) and Emily Remler plus a host of their male counterparts. Join us once again in The Jazz Room!

An award winning independent music artist, singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist, music producer and videographer, this London based creative grew up in Nottingham UK. Self taught on piano and guitar, he was to discover a love for fully crafting his own material from conception to production and everything in between. Solidifying his skills at Paul McCartney's Performing Arts Institute LIPA in Liverpool, saw him write two musicals and record his first solo album before arriving in London to pursue long held musical dreams. As an ever evolving queer artist with inspirational pop icons surcharging his self expression, the big city in the early naughties proved a resistant force in his honest lyrics and themes gaining any commercial appeal. And so, shunning the corporate cats with a firm belief that art comes from a place of truth, he did it his way, retaining creative control by launching his own record label - Young Lust Records, learning the music biz from the ground up. Having carved a niche with his own brand of queer themed rock music and videos, exciting collaborations and projects soon followed, along with a strong online audience and international fan base garnering millions of YouTube views and viral videos, capturing the supportive eye of much loved English actor, broadcaster, writer, comedian and director Stephen Fry. Combining elements of rock, punk, alternative, pop and visual storytelling with a theatrical flair, his songs are candid in dealing with the joys, pains and experiences of gay identity. As an LGBTQ+ advocate and activist his expressions are unashamedly positive and celebratory with humorous yet acerbic commentary on institutional homophobia within the entertainment industry. Quirky, heart-warming and political. Fifteen years and four studio albums deep, his work has involved an international roster of film directors, illustrators and visual artists to bring his stories to life with an award winning debut album Not Thinking Straight and follow up Cover Boy co-produced with Mark Crew of Bastille and Rag n Bone Man credits, and has had his work featured in Gay Times, Attitude and Out Magazines. Alongside further nods from actor Tom Hiddleston, LGBtQ+ activist Peter Tatchell & legendary songwriter and producer Jim Steinman. With his latest album Tales of Queer Suburbia set for release in early 2025, this is someone making waves in the wonderful world of queer.

Harriet Constable learned a lot about the real life of Anna Maria della Pietà — that she grew up in an orphanage, that she was a star violinist and a favored student of Antonio Vivaldi. But in her new novel, The Instrumentalist, Constable also merges fact with fiction to tell the story of Anna Maria's synesthesia and musical talents. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about Anna Maria's life, the challenges and excitement of the classical music world at the time, and what we make of Vivaldi today.

Anna Maria della Pieta. Chances are you've heard of Antonio Vivaldi, but you've never heard of Anna Maria or her fellow female orphans at the Ospedale della Pieta, which in 18th century Venice boasted the greatest orchestra in the world. Without these ridiculously talented girls and women, The Four Seasons might not exist.  Harriet Constable's debut historical fiction, The Instrumentalist, is the story of Anna Maria, Vivaldi's favourite student and violin prodigy, shining a light on the women and girls we should have been talking about for the last 300 years. The Instrumentalist is published by Bloomsbury on August 15.  @HarriConstable – Instagram @HConstable – X Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In early 18th century Venice, the Ospedale della Pietà took in abandoned baby girls through a tiny gap in the wall.  In addition to ensuring the girls' survival, the orphanage employed one of the world's greatest ever composers - Antonio Vivaldi - to train the girls in music.  One of his pupils, Anna Maria della Pietà, became his star protegé and went on to a phenomenal career as a violinist and the maestro's biggest rival.Anna Maria's largely forgotten life is compellingly recovered and reimagined in this summer's most eagerly anticipated historical novel, The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable. She joins Professor Suzannah Lipscomb to talk about how she discovered and brought Anna-Maria's heart-rending story to life.Presented by Professor Susannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith and the producer is Rob Weinberg.
